The hotel is what you would expect for a budget motel chain, however the staff were very helpful as we were travelling with an infant. Special mention to Jonathon (Reception) that did quite a bit to help us out.

Room Tip: Rooms away from the pool are better as the lights shine directly into your room

Thank you for taking the time to post a review about your experience with our hotel in the beautiful Alamo City. We are glad that you and your family found our staff to be helpful during your trip and have passed your compliment on to Jonathan. We do however notice that you had an issue with the pool lights shining into your room. We do have black out curtains installed into all of our guest rooms and apologize that you still experienced an issue with our lighting. Thank you again and we look forward to serving you again in the future should your travels return to you and your family to the area.Max Janow1011 E Houston ST.

VERY limited channels on the tv - no MSNBC for you progressives! $7/day parking so add that up as part of your budget. Only a limited continental breakfast - no waffles here. Does have fridge & microwave in the room. The best thing & the worst thing is the location. It is right next to the interstate, very easy off & on, & a half mile from the Alamo & Riverwalk. You can walk to all of the touristy things downtown with ease. But with that location it also means you HEAR all that traffic from the interstate as well. If you're a light sleeper, this is not the place for you. And if you want to use the outdoor pool, it is in the front of the building & all you will hear while trying to relax at the pool is the traffic noise from the interstate. Pretty awful.

Thank you choosing to stay with us during your trip to the Alamo City. We would like to apologize for not meeting your expectations during your stay. We do offer CNN & Fox News on our cable line up for keeping updated with world news; unfortunately we do not offer MSNBC at this time. We do take into consideration the requests of our guests and will address expanding the networks that we do provide. Parking fees are required and we apologize that this was not part of your budget. Our property, as you mentioned, is in such close proximity to the downtown area that this fee ensures that our lot is used by hotel guest only. Our breakfast selection includes bagels, muffins, and fresh fruit with juice and coffee which is truly a Grab N Go as most of our guests want to grab something on their way out to enjoy the Alamo City. While we are situated downtown and by a major exit into the city the amount of traffic reduces after 8pm so the traffic noise is minimal during the night hours as well we offer rooms on the opposite side of the building for those light sleepers and are more than happy to accommodate these requests. Our pool area, while located in front of the building, is wired with Muzak and the music playing is during the same time as the operation of the pool. Again thank you for your comments and our team would like to invite you to return so that we may provide you with a more memorable experience with our brand. Max Janow1011 E Houston ST.

We had a great stay and thought the location was fantastic and they accepted our pet. the staff were all very helpful especially Calvin who is in the lobby area at breakfast and Lisa who went out of her way to call us in the lobby when our room was finished one morning. Breakfast was basic but fresh and tasty. Our bed was comfortable and everything clean.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to review your stay with us. We are very thankful that you shared your experience with other travelers. We will pass along your comments to our two team members that you mentioned and we very happy that they went above and betond.

The Red Roof Inn in downtown San Antonio was a nice place to stay. As people have mentioned, it is a good place to park and stay and then visit downtown San Antonio. We were able to walk to the Alamo and the Riverwalk from the Inn. The front-desk staff was helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. My only complaint was there was construction work being done on the same floor we were staying on. Luckily, the saws were not being used after a certain time. It's great to see renovations being done, but it might be good to inform guests that construction is being done in case that person is bothered by the sound of the workl.

We stayed here one night on a long road trip. We chose it because it was near the Riverwalk, and would accept pets. Also, it had a locked parking garage, which was important since we had a lot of luggage in the car. It is a large, older building, right on the boundary between the tourist area and a somewhat sketchy neighborhood (run-down buildings, etc.). I felt comfortable walking around in the day, especially on the Riverwalk side, but did not attempt to stroll around at night. Our room was very comfortable, though not completely clean, and we got a good night's sleep. Not a fancy place, but convenient (close to the Alamo), and good value.

Thank you for your review of your stay. We are very pleased that you thought highly about your stay to review our property. Bieng only 3 blocks form the Alamo doesn't mean yuo have to pay a higher price for location. We are currently under renovation and look forward to the WOW factor our guest are going to see in the next couple of months. Thank you again for our review of our location.

Yes, the hotel is close to downtown, yes, it is possible to walk to the riverwalk from here but you wouldn't at night. You have to walk under the freeway past vacant lots and parking areas. I did it an was very uncomfortable walking back to the hotel alone. Breakfast was below par compared to most hotels. Very limited seating.Staff was very helpful, they knew the area and had great customer service.

Room on Sat. was $139.00 which was outrageous for what you got. Small and very dated room, the carpet was old and dirty, the bath room was tiny and shower was scary. Wallboard and paint pulled away from shower head.The same room on Sunday and Monday was $59. The $60 difference in the room rate better matched the hotel room I had.Please note the staff was knowledgeable and service oriented I was expecting more from the room.

I would not stay here again but if you’re not real picky it might work.

Room Tip: .
Ask for room facing city at least you get a view.

Thank you for reviewing our hotel on your recent stay with us. While we are located only a couple of blocks from the Riverwalk we are located at major intersection into downtown off I-35 and the underpass is well lit at night as the city has multi-colored HD lights that change colors and patterns along with well marked crosswalks and street lights. We do offer a Grab-N-Go Breakfast daily where our guest feedback has been they only want to grab something and go see the sights and sounds of San Antonio but we always appreciate feedback to see if could change something in the future. We are currently going through a major remodel with all new beds, flat screen TV, carpet, wood flooring, tub surrounds and amenities. The renovation is scheduled to complete around June 15, 2012. Thank you for noticing the level of customer service that we offer to all our guests as it is our expectation that we go above and beyond to ensure every guest has a positive experience. With our upgrade under way we feel every guest will enjoy the new experience as we will have the newest rooms available to choiose form in the Alamo City. Thank you again for your feedback.Max JanowGeneral Manager i0248@redroof.com

Our stay at this facility was excellent in all respects. We have two dachshunds and they were spoiled by everyone in the facility, including gettting their picture on Red Roof facebook page.

Rooms were clean, large and well maintained, continental breakfast was very good and some of the best orange juice I've ever tasted.

Hotel personnel were extremely friendly and provided information we asked for quickly and accurately.

I would not hesitate recommending this facility to anyone coming to San Antonio. It is very convenient to downtown and the river walk.

Thanks for a very pleasant stay.
